The Weekend is Here!!!

I've been very busy for the past few days, so I'll catch you guys up on things.

I started school on Tuesday at Daeshin High School. There I met many new people and I hope I made a lot of new friends as well. Everyone was very excited to meet me, I am a foreigner after all 😁. I stick out in Korea, but I don't think I stick out as much as blonde exchange students or my friend who is 6'6". I don't know enough Korean to understand my classes, so I've been doing the homework 엄마 (Host mom) has been giving me. I can recognize symbols and their respective sounds for the most part now, but I'm very slow when I have to read it aloud. I actually had write a present an introduction in Korean that I had to give on Friday after prayer (Daeshin is a Christian school). Prayer was something new to me as well, my schooling has always been public non-religious so it was new school experience for me. I of course didn't understand what they were saying. 

After coming home from school, I've tried to work on my Korean, something I've only been able to successfully do in recent days because I'd get so tired in the afternoon. I think I'm more attuned to Korean time now, more than before, and I now know that if I get tired during school I can simply sleep at my desk. Students sleeping during class was something I noticed quickly, 엄마 told me about it but I didn't expect it to be the way it was. In some ways Korean school is more lax than Canadian school, but of course it varies. I've tried many different foods, kimbap, Korean mackerel, and mochi to list a few.

I'm sort of rushing this post, because I leave at noon to  go to a Rotary meeting in Suwon. I will write about it another time.

P.S. Sorry for the hectic post, I'll be back with a post soon.
